Was everyone who went to check on the Pillar altered somehow...?

What happened down there?

[He hesitates. It hasn't really seemed like anything good came out of going down there. Except for, you know, the whole No More Pillar thing.]

...

If there's anything that I can do... I will. Police should help those in trouble. Shouldn't they?

Yes, although as far as I've seen none of them have changed as dramatically as they did a week ago.

All these changes were probably just the Pillar's last 'frag you' to us before we destroyed it.

You mean there's others!? How we stop this, the Pillar is already destroyed. [Knock Out sounds angry but his anger is not directed at Kagerou itself.] I hate this place.

Yes, Kagerou, thank you. We should. It's the primary part of our job.

Not everyone - I escaped it somehow. But many, arguably most, were affected. If you'd like to meet me somewhere, I'll tell you as much as I can. [Since he doesn't like just doing so over the comm - dealing with people face-to-face is better to him when possible.]

In the meantime . . . if someone asks for help, give it. If you see a situation or a potential for a situation that could turn dangerous, step in. Don't assume fault until you know it, but try to diffuse the situation . . . or call me or McCrane if you'd prefer.

Just . . . just be alert. And be careful.

So it's really gone? It won't be harming anyone any longer?

Why are you shouting at me!

[He bristles, regardless. He's never gotten on well with this robot...]

I only want to know what happened.

I thought as much.

... All right. I want to know what happened, so whatever you like.

[He goes quiet, then, his wings flicking. It isn't that he doesn't trust the BP leader... it's just odd.]

[Taking commands, more or less, from him. Though he supposes it's something he should start getting used to.]

Right. Just watch. Unless asked otherwise.

When these last effects wear off, yes. No-one will be changed again.

Hopefully the First Forged will be back soon as well, then maybe they can tell us just why the pit things like these happen. I don't know about you, but blaming it all on Unicron and the Lambda just seems like a convenient scapegoat for them.

Good. ... Do they ever really tell us why anything happens?

If they do, then they only tell us what they think we want to hear.

[there's a pause]

I'm surprised that the Pillar didn't effect anyone on the surface like it did to myself and everyone else who went down to the core.

That's good, though. Saves us a lot of trouble.

I am not shouting. [His voice lowers, but not much.] I was just pointing out my opinion. In an emphatic way.

[No one does, it's okay.]

We tried to help and we got screwed over again. If that's what I get from saving someone's life I am never doing it again.

At least, publicly. ... I didn't feel any differently. All I felt was the crash.

You sounded like you were.

I don't think anything was... screwed over... whatever that means. If the pillar is gone, we're all safer.

[If it's any consolation, he doesn't wholly mean it that way, as a command. In his mind, he's answering the question and giving suggestions. Deckard would be the first to admit that he holds no real authority over Kagerou unless Kagerou /chooses/ to allow it. In this place, away from Tokyo Metropolitan and the structure that had been decided for and placed upon them all, he's not even sure he holds any real authority over the others either. And he's okay with that, though it's something he should probably establish at some point, just where he /does/ stand with everyone. But that's not crossing his mind at the moment. Right now, he has a job to do and people to look out for.]

[If Kagerou's more comfortable with just sticking to observation outright, then that's fine. Deckard nods, reiterating to make sure the ninjabot caught the rest.]

Watch, and if things look like they might get out of hand, call someone if you don't feel comfortable stepping in.

I've got a patrol I'm heading out for in a few minutes. I'll be gone from HQ for about an hour, assuming there's no trouble. I'll call you if I can't make it back in time, but otherwise, meet me then?

That's what a stealth model does, isn't it? Watch and gather information. I... want to do what I was made to do.

[Granted, he was just made to train Shadowmaru. And then die. But beyond that... He is a stealth model.]

[He should perform his function.]

Yes. I can do that.

If that's what you want to believe then sure. Why not.

Again, that's good. It would've complicated matters if we'd come back up to the surface to find everyone had gone crazy again.

You think otherwise. Did you believe they would have gone crazy?

I'll trust them when they give me reason to. If you already do, then... good for you?

Honestly, I thought something would've happened. I'm glad I was wrong; all it did was cause innocent people to suffer. No-one deserved what the Pillar did to them.

You make it sound as if it's a bad thing. That's very noble of you.

It's your choice to make, not mine.

That's very sarcastic of you.

I know. But you don't agree. How was it sarcastic?

I'm curious as to why it even matters to you that I don't necessarily see optic to optic with you. Plenty of people have disagreed with me on things but it doesn't really mean anything, that's just life. Nothing will ever be unanimous.

I... thought you weren't being serious.

I'm just curious. ... I was.

When they keep things from us and won't even tell us why, then I can't help but distrust them. We're supposedly here to help develop the planet, but they won't even tell us the basics of how it works and the dangers. Especially when those dangers involve multiple deaths.

Oh. Thanks?

Mm. I understand. I feel the same, at times. Right.

[Deckard's admittedly accustomed to Shadowmaru's mix of observation and action, but at that, he nods.]

I'm sorry. I hadn't thought of it that way, but you're right. Thank you.

All right. I'll see you then.
